Regarding nautilus elbowing out access to the desktop in Window Maker upon
accessing GNOME Help, I was able to resolve the situation by doing this:
Run this gnome configuration tool (you can do this from Window Maker):
gnome-panel-properties-capplet
In Document Handlers -> URL Handlers, modify the entry for
Protocol ghelp, adding --nodesktop. The resulting entry appears as:
nautilus --nodesktop "%s"
Then click 'set', 'ok', close the configuration tool, and try using Help
in a GNOME app (eg., Galeon). It should work properly now.
